A day or two ago, Lawrence at SartInc posed a question regarding the classic blue colorways we’ve come to know and love on our pairs of Vans. While the simple classic colors are sharp, I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair of Authentics in a blue gingham and proceeded to wear the hell out of them. Being a fixie kid in them days, my many pairs of Vans went through hell as the waffle soul was the perfect grip for the pedals. Having hung up my fixed-gear ways, it’s time to give this pair a good clean and reintroduce them to the wardrobe this Spring. Or I could throw down $42 for a new pair or design a custom pair for a cool $60. We all need a pair of Vans, no?

- 100 Days of Ties: Day 86, a long overdue bowtie and one. cold. morning. commute.
- Quality and Quantity: Purge to fill with the Yuketen Country Ranger and more.

I think you can and should still rock them. Nothing like taking a trend out of context to make it your own. Vans are a staple, so why not

Clean em up a bit, and they’ll be good as new.
